"Especially when compared to the following floating-point intensive tests, the most likely explanation is an exception in the FPUMark program that doesn't take particularly to the K7."

If you look at your benchmarks there, you'll see that in floating-point intensive tests, the K7 actually blows away the PIII and even the highly-expensive Xeon. So it's just the FPUMark test itself that is flawed, and that's a quote directly from the benchmarker himself.
